POWER WITH CLASS
My husband and I went into the dealership to look at Escalades. We fell on love with something called the SRX. I had not even seen a Cadillac ad for this new model. We are very impressed with the handling,looks and speed. We are so pleased with the purchase and all the high performance. Cadillac needs to advertise this car for the younger buyers.
The best SUV ever!
My husband and I were in the market for a new car but did not know what we really wanted. We test drove many different SUVs from Mercedes to Volvos. Then we saw the SRX, decided to go on a test drive and bought the car that day. We have enjoyed this car more than any other car we have had. The vehicle has a style of its own!

SRX - AKA ---
The SRX is excellent vehicle for my family. My kids love the vehicle so much, they call it the "good car". Although, we know it is an SUV. The SRX has style; super ride and handling; outstanding performance; and great overall functionality. The interior amenities and technology available on the SRX are second to none. What else can I say--- way to Break Through Cadillac.
THE BEST SUV SO FAR!
VERY COMFORTRABLE RIDE FOR A BIG SUV . MORE ROOM THAN MY FORMER LEXUS RX300.
A very good car
Excellent performer
No Lumbar?
ery happy with car overall, although we have one major complaint being that the driver & passnger seats do not have lumbar adjustments which are quite important to us due to back problems. Cant understand why a car costing $58,000+ cant include this. Also why are running boards not available. We short people have a hard time stepping up to get in. Can we get answer from Cadillac regards this? Would slso like to see the second seat with warming gridfor passengers.
good car
traded in a E320 for this car was a bit worried about fit and finish but let me tell you this SRX is much much better in every area than the MB. No problems at all, none the car is just perfect. Had an ice storm the first month we owned it but the AWD handled it without any issues. This is our second Cadillac in 10 years and I think it is the best built auto we have ever owned in the 40 years I have been buying cars. The engine is great the power curve is stronger than the MB ever was the appointments inside are very well done. One thing that could use some attention is the roof rack, without crossbars it really has limited value. Good car, well built...
Excellent Car
I love it, Feels like a german car
Great Car
Great Vehicle! No regrets at 3,000 miles
My wife's SRX
This is superb alternative to the excessively large cumbersom Expedition that she was driving. It drives like my Cadillac Deville. The automatic third seat is easy to operate. The car has many desirable features.
2004 SRX
Researched for three months. Looked at MDX, GX 470, XC90. All of them excellent cars. Needed three rows of seats for four children. Two smallest are 2 and 1 year old, third row is plenty and second row slides forward if needed later. The SRX has a very unique and sharp look. I am glad to drive american after 12 years of european (BMW,VW). The quality, the feel, the luxury is impressive.I got exactly what I wanted, I could not be more satisfied, if I had to do it again, I would do the same. Some expert reviews questioned some of the interior materials qualities. I did not find any problems or issues.
New Caddy
My husband and I both drive alot here in LA. We appreciate the "finer" things in life. We have owned several suv's througout the years. We typically lease our cars for 3 years at a time. This year we test drove the BMW M5, the Mercedes CL500, The VW Tourang, the The new Volvo. We loved the Cadillac SRX the moment we tested it. We also got a great deal. The interior style with the ultra plush leather seats are outstanding. We recommend this car to anyone seeking luxury and quality!
Wife and I fight to drive!!!
The dealer experience was exceptional! It is a perfect fit for us, most 2 row vehicels to small, full size SUV to big and low mpg.
sac
great all around car
SRX Pleasant Surprise
Job change so I lost a company minivan (we have enjoyed a company car for 15 years) so it takes some getting used forking over $35,000. You do not appreciate the perk until it is gone! We drove all the minivans (some more than once) and decided to give the SRX a spin based on Edmunds readers making it a 'consumer's most wanted'. We are glad we did! More comfortable and stylish and way more fun to drive (I drove a 2005 Cadillac STS recently and when I climbed back into my SRX, I was just as comfortable and sitting higher in the saddle to boot). Lots of power, comfort and a cool TV/DVD player added as an aftermarket make long trips fun for the kids.
FANTASTIC CAR
WHEN I TEST DROVE THE CAR IT WAS ALMOST AS MUCH FUN TO DRIVE AS MY CORVETTE BUT MORE PRACTICAL FOR DAILY USE AND IT WOULD GET ME THROUGH IN THE WINTER! I TRADED MY 2003 DENALI AND HAVE NEVER HAS SO MUCH FUN IN MY "WORK" CAR.
SRX V6 BY LEAHY
THIS SRX HANDLES LIKE A FINE CAR,BUT IS HIGH ENOUGH ABOVE TRAFFIC TO ENABLE DEFENSIVE DRIVING,WHICH IS IMPORTANT IN FLORIDA. THE V6 IS RESPONSIVE AND THE BRAKING IS SECOND TO NONE. I RECEIVE COMPLIMENTS ABOUT THE GOOD LOOKS OF THIS DARK BLUE BEAUTY ON A DAILY BASIS.
srx appraisal
Truly surprised at the quality and performance. Styling is unique and features are very surprising. Can't wait to drive in an extremely heavy snowfall. The all wheel drive and handling feels like you are "glued" to the road.
Outstanding fun Ride
Outstanding fun ride that has a high performance ride and feel. Very sporty and fast.
2004 Cadillac SRX
We traded a 1999 Cadillac DeVille for our 2004 Cadillac SRX. This is a whole different Cadillac. It is tight, athletic, and a willing performer. We love the UltraView sliding roof. The car has as much get up and go as my 2005 Mustang GT. I love the leather and wood trim. My boys love the DVD system and 3rd row seat. I also am enjoying the awesome premium Bose stereo system and of coure OnStar. This is an excellent vehicle!
SRX CADILLAC REVIEW
THE STEERING IS AS RESPONSIVE AS A GOOD SPORTS CAR AND THE BRAKES ARE EXCEPTIONAL. THE SEATS ARE SOFT AND EASY TO LIVE WITH.
2004 Cadillac SRX
I had a 1999 Mercury SUV that had been in a bad accident. The Cadillac dealer was right next to the Mercury dealer so I told my wife, "let's check out the SRX." We checked out the dealership and this SRX was in the showroom, the exact color I like. I test drove it and bought it the same night. I never looked at another car. It's been great. It has a good ride, good gas milage, and I've never had a problem with it. I would reccommend it to anyone looking for that kind of vehicle.
Not your fathers Cadillac (SRX)
I have owned 7 Cadillacs in the past 12 years. I purchased the SRX for more storage room on long trips. It is not a comfortable vehicle, difficult to get in and out of, and the 3rd seat is a childs jump seat(10years old max). 16.5 MPG avg. with the V6. The power steering at parking speed is truck-like. On the other hand the 5 speed transmission performs great on the highway. If you are a Cadillac owner over 40, avoid this vehicle! I have been in Fort Myers,Fl now for 3 months and have not seen another SRX anywhere on the Southwest Florida coast?
SRX
The Cadillac SRX is an awesome car, SUV whatever. It is very comfortable and is a great on road vehicle.
Imagine me driving a cadillac!
Sold my Benz ML to buy this car- it caught my eye in a print ad, saw one, knew it was "my car", and purchased the first one I could get my hands on. Love the looks, find it comfortable on long trips, and enjoy the power- though it doesn't pass too many gas stations. Also like the lower body after the SUV.
First Time Domestic Buyer / Would Do Again
We have always owned imports, but I have become a believer in Cadillac. We bought a pre-owned '04 SRX V8 with every available option. It has great space and incredible performance. It is as fun to drive as our Volvo V70 wagon. I highly recommend it!
Caddy Rating
This vehicle is an excellent buy and the only thing I would change is the wheel selection that comes with the vehicle. The 20 inch rims should come standard with this vehicle.
SRX AWD fits my style
10 weeks and I still love my SRX AWD. I was originally interested in the SRX because of its automobile size - not the monster Escalade. I really appreciate Cadillac packaging options together, I purchased the Luxury performance package with the Ultraview sunroof and third row power seat. The 6cyl has incredible power and I like the fuel economy over the 8cyl which felt like a rocket ship on wheels. Design, handling, comfort are all premium first-class. This was my clear and exceptional choice over Volvo, BMW, Lexus, Lincoln, and Volkswagon.
Great
wonderful Car i love it want another for my wife
Great Vehicle
The size and confort are fantastic
Big Piece of Junk
This was the worse vehicle that we have ever purchased. During the time that we owned this SUV, it was in the shop for repairs constantly. Unfortunately, after this experience, we will never purchase another GM car. We just purchased a new Lexus RX400h and love it. There is a huge difference in quality and it is worth the difference in price.
Hot SRX !
Coming from a GMC Yukon I can certainly appreciate the comfort of the SRX. Although the Yukon was far from a hard ride, yet it was not slick the Cadillac. The SRX is smooth but snazzy!!!!
Cadillac is back on Top
We just bought our SRX and love it. The ride and performance are incedible. General Motors hit a hime Run with this. Within a week of owning the vehicle, two of our acquaintences have traded in their foreign luxury cars for SRX's
BREAKTHROUGH
HAD A COMPUTER CHIP GO DOWN AND THE DEALERSHIP HAD MUCHO TROUBLE CORRECTING BECAUSE THE MODEL WAS NEW AND THE PROCESS OF REPROGRAMMING WAS DIFFERENT THAN ANY OTHER VEHICLE THEY HAVE. HAD IT 3 DAYS AND BACK TO THE DEALER FOR 17... RECEIVED CAR CARE (FREE MAINTENANCE) FOR TWO YEARS. V6 GETTING ME 17 MPG..CAN'T IMAGINE WHAT THAT 345 HP V8 WOULD GET AND I PAID 2.10 AT THE PUMP TODAY... OY...ALSO VEHICLE WAS RECALLED FOR SOME CROSS BETWEEN THE ABS AND STABILITRAK WHICH THE LETTER SAID WOULD CAUSE THE VHICLE TO BRAKE AT 7 FEET FURTHER...THE JURY IS OUT ON RELIABILTY BUT SO FAR THE CAR HAS PROVEN TO BE FUN TO DRIVE AND COMFORTABLE
great spirited vehicle
Comfortable, quick, fun to drive...these are just a few of the things that come to mind when thinking about the SRX. I have the V8 with Power luxary group. A great ride!
Great
Great no problems and I'm 6'5". Handles well, accelerates smooth, quite ride...but upper dash board material could have been of better quality, needs more wood trim on doors, too much plastic on exterior.....But I love it.
Love it!!!!
Love it, love it, love it!!!!
The almost-perfect cadillac
Handling is surperb; I get stopped on the street where ever I am for compliments.
SRX GM did it right
I have owned several SUVs, both forign and domestic (including the Mercedes ML320). The SRX is the best all around Vehicle I have owned. Power is just right with the V-6. Comfort is tops with a smooth ride, but a firm- sporty feel. The SRX sits lower than most SUVs, giving me the confidence to toss it into a corner without fear of tipping. Interior is pleasant; seats handled a 750 mile trip with no discomfort. All in all, this is GM's finest hour.
MrsD
Love it, love it, love it!
Who needs imports?
Great balance of driving dynamics, comfort, and style. Touch-screen interface is better than sea of buttons found in many competing vehicles. I came to this car from a Euro sports car and gained a lot of smoothness and refinement for surprisingly small cost in real-world performance.
Who Cares
A very solid driving car.
POWER STEERING PULLEY BROKE OFF FROM MOTOR
Beware this has to be a defect started hearing winding noise when turning car ok added power steering fluid Then car sat for awhile i dont drive it that often so i am driving down my street and as i come to stop i hear a loud noise and thought oh great my radiator busted? No that would have been better come to find out the power steer pulley broke off from the motor?????? Tried to have it welded back on 3-4 times only to fail This seems like a big defect and wondering if this has happened before

Amazing Vehicle
I did a great deal of research on high- tech SUVs and crossovers, but kept coming back to the SRX. There is nothing out there that can beat the combination of comfort, handling, utility and technology that this thing has. I am now a believer in the "Cadillac ride" mystique - there is really something to it. V6 engine has plenty of power - V8 not necessary. Cadillac has earned it's place as a player against the expensive European makes known for quality. This is a great car.
It's Finally Gone
The SRX was sold last week with absolutely no regret. We were very excited when we originally bought the SRX because of its looks and performance. Both of the attributes held to be true to the end. Interior finish was awful and build quality was about as bad as it could get. The dealer tried to make things work but Cadillac was very uncooperative. The sunroof would not function at times and creaked and rattled all of the time. The engine burned 5 quarts of oil in the last 8k miles driven and Cadillac said that was in tolerance. The final straw was the sunroof began leaking with water pooling under the third seat. It really is too bad that the car had to be dumped on the market.
I love my SRX, only had cosmetic problem
I love my SRX. It's fun to drive, has plenty of power. The only problems I've had with it is cosmetic issues. My radio dash and door handles started to peel, delaminate. I had those replaced now everything looks new again, but did notice it will most likely delaminate again. Other than that, it's a joy to drive and seems very reliable so far.
Yeah, folk
it's real tight, the inside, the outside, the handling, everything is good about that suv.
LOVE IT!!!
This was a car purchased for my wife. She has a severe back problem and was looking for comfort and ease while having the room for 3 + children. As a BMW owner I rejoyced in knowing that my wife would no longer be taking my car instead of the minivan we had previously. Funny thing is, I find myself jumping into the Cadillac more often than my own car.
Frank
Bought this SRX for my wife for Christmas, she fell in Love with it, the only problem is I want to drive it.Handles Great. People can't stop looking, at it. Great style,good on gas,love the ultra view sunroof.Cadillac hit a home run with this SUV.
Fun to Drive
Absolutely fun to drive with Cadillac Style and Comfort; yet remarkably agile. Transmission shifting is seemless. Navigation is great once you get used to it. Don't get one without the two row sunroof.
